Just curious....what do u consider dominant?? Someone who doesn't pass the ball and goes directly to goal??
Glad you ask that. Here's what parents on the sideline need to understand so they stop pressuring their kids to go to goal every time they touch the ball. A dominate player is the one who controls the game. Heavy redefending, ride pressure, ground ball hustle, pass defense, transition passing, feeding, decoying, timely slides, and basically making everyone on the field around them better. A girl (or boy) can completely dominate a game without ever scoring a goal herself, although they usually end up putting a goal or two in themselves. No one is impressed with the girl who scored 5 goals because all she did was "Go to goal"" every time they touch the ball. If that's your daughter, correct it.
